Funny how 5 years ago we had all these debates about wealth taxation, and a big argument was that billionaires don't have that much power really—and right after that Musk bought Twitter for $44B, used it to get Trump win, and now to prop up the global neo-nazi movement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🧵Politico published Renew's internal guidelines on the cordon sanitaire, so who their MEPs should be allowed to work with in the Parliament. Politico says they are "jumping the cordon" by deeming acceptable parts of ECR. But that's actually the wrong take from the document.👇

Our co-presidents @TerryReintke and @BasEickhout react on the approval of the remaining Commissioners-designate, including Fitto and Varhélyi: "Political pact on Commission marks dangerous willingness to normalise far-right." greens-efa.eu/en/article/pre…

After the June elections, we warned that there is only one stable majority possible. That majority voted @vonderleyen in July. For the entire Commission, that majority was dropped today. Already the same evening, it becomes clear how unstable it is. A bad week for EU democracy.

@JorgeLiboreiro @Vincengen When you read ours you will understand!

The Greens and The Left have also submitted "minority opinions" to Ribera's mission letter, although it's unclear why. Meanwhile, Socialists have submitted one opinion for Fitto, raising questions about his vice-presidency, @Vincengen reports.

It's over: both Teresa Ribera and Raffaele Fitto receive the green-light from the European Parliament to be executive vice-presidents in the next European Commission. EPP and Patriots have submitted a joint "minority opinion" to Ribera's mission letter, @gerardofortuna reports.

This whole exercise has been deeply shameful. I have no words. And a horrible precedent for the Parliament as institution.

This is pretty much a shitshow.

I think it's fair to say that Spanish EPP is simply pathetic. #Ribeira #hearings PP and Vox always bring their national issues to the European Parliament. It's highly disrespectful for the institution, and citizens of all EU Member States.

And the longer the #Ribera hearing goes, the worse it's getting. This is deeply problematic for the credibility of the Parliament. And again very well illustrates how right wing parties actively undermine democracy through polarization.

Did I just hear Markus Ferber ask a question to Teresa Ribera about possible conflicts of interest ? Leaving this from ⁦@bsmithmey⁩ here. politico.eu/article/markus…

Today's hearings of #Séjourné and #Ribera illustrate how sad the state of politics is in France and Spain. With especially (extreme) right wing parties misusing the hearings to spread further populistic and fake statements on national politics.

✈️ Europe needs fair climate policies that addresses emissions from aviation! Great to see @WBHoekstra committed to advancing a frequent flyer levy with a coalition of the willing, and making progress on EU-level. @GreensEFA #EUHearings

2/3 majority for Commissioner-Designate Hoekstra after a solid hearing, including on #taxation with good language on the need for harmonization and against race to the bottom. Political groups also agree to add taxation to his official title!

🔴 Hearing Commissioner-Designate Jorgensen on energy and housing. Confident. And great to see how he replies to the obsession for nuclear energy by some political groups. Otherwise, no surprises. Sticks largely to mission letter.

The Commission has adopted this morning its proposal for a DAC9. It will facilitate the implementation of Pillar 2 by allowing MNEs to report in one Member State only instead of 27. #Taxes #OECD @EU_Taxud
